8 in 10 LGBTQ+ travellers consider their safety before travelling somewhere, study finds
Safety considerations continue to be at the forefront for LGBTQIA+ people when planning a trip somewhere, a new study from Booking.com has found.
The data comes from the company’s most extensive LGBTQIA+ travel research to date and was the source of discussion at a roundtable held at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel during Manchester Pride on 25 August.
The event, which was moderated by Conor Clark, Senior Reporter at GAY TIMES, saw Coronation Street star Antony Cotton share his own experiences of travelling as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Also in attendance was Kristofer Barber, Global Communications Director for Booking.com, who told the room about the company’s extensive efforts to improve the experiences of LGBTQIA+ people when travelling – such as its Travel Proud programme.
